Use the HELPREGISTER system option to add up to 20 help files that you would like available from the main SAS window Help menu. All strings containing spaces must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Optional arguments can be omitted by replacing them with a single period (.) or empty double quotation marks ("") . If no further argument is necessary, no place-holder is required.
To add multiple Help files to the Help menu, use multiple HELPREGISTER system options either in the configuration file or at the command prompt when you start SAS.
